I notice they leave the desktop cradle contacts open. Does this imply that you can charge this phone on the cradle while the case is on the phone?

I really like this cover and I have never taken it off. I charge my phone every day with the cover on, but I use the plug-in AC charger type. There is a flap over the charger area that opens outward and the cover offers thick cushioning around the sides of the phone, so it would not fit in my desktop cradle. Using the charger provided with the phone has been easy and it lives right next to my laptop on my desk.

No need to remove the case for charging. Its perfectly working with the case. :)

Yes, in portrait when closed and in landscape when open. You don't have to remove it from the case to charge. I'm charging mine now as I type this in landscape.

Yes, you can charge it. I like the case is very protective. Make the phone bigger, but you gain extra protection.

I would say it is not, there are 4 dimples on the edge of the nexus that need to contact the cradle, anything that got in the way, as this case would appear to do would stop charging

I didn't have mine attached to a computer. I used the charger that came with the phone and plugged the dock into that. But never had any issues with the cradle.

No! The phone's charging contacts are on the side and have to be pointed downward and placed in the cradle. The battery alone will not fit in the cradle.

You can charge together or separately. I think the phone charges before the case when they are plugged in together.

I can charge while it's on the stand as long as it's on top of a book to prevent damage to the charging cord, it's to close to the desktop otherwise. I really like the stand, it's awesome for reading books and texting.

Yes you can leave the case on and charge it. My daughter has the case and it never given her a problem in any way. Other than her uncle wanting to steal it from her. :)

Yes, when you insert your phone into the case there is a connector in the case that plugs into your phone. The case has a rechargeable battery built in that will provide a full charge to your phone. You can leave the phone in the case and when you charge the case it will also charge the phone. It's basically a spare battery built into the case. I'm very happy with mine!

Do you mean using the cradle? Not that I know of. I plug mine in to the micro USB to charge it.

Yes you can charge with the case on. I had wondered about that before I got the case as well. No problems for me.

Yes, nice charging cradle, or you can use the magnetic charger on the bottom of the device itself. :O)

No you do not, but for a faster charge on the go, if your phone and this case are both dead or nearly dead, I recommend separating the phone and case and charging them separately then assembling them back together when you leave the house. This is most effective because when you plug the case in with the phone attached, the phone gets charged first followed by the case once the phone is at 100%. This requires double the charging time, unless separated.

Yes your phone has to be in the cradle at all times, I suggest investing in a bluetooth headset if this seems inconvenient.
